Today’s word prompts were: position, cusp, farm, luminescent, photo, illicit, languidly.

Stellar

The stars stand in place,
fixed in the firmament,
well positioned sentinels
in eternal vigil over all.
Eventually they move,
slowly, languidly,
like time lapse photos
of the night sky’s topography.
This cold luminescence
appearing to revolve,
but we are the earth spinners
keeping them always
on the cusp of our horizon.
